Motion City Soundtrack | Lyrics | Together We'll Ring in the New Year

This must be it, welcome to the new year
The drinks were consumed
The plants were destroyed
And the hors d'oeuvre dismantled

I'm not smiling behind this fake veneer
I am often interrupted or completely ignored
But most of all I'm bored

I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning
Lackluster and full of contempt
When it always ends the same
Why won't she listen to me?

Why did I come?
Oh, why did I come here?
These humans all suck
I'd rather be home feeling violent and lonely

I'm not trying to sound so insincere
But the postcard that's taped to the freezer
Reads "Wish you were here"
How I wish I could disappear

I'm trying to find out if my words have any meaning
Lackluster and full of contempt
And it always ends the same
Heads up damage control
There's a ring around her finger

Last chance for changing lanes
And you missed it by a mile
Why won't you listen to me?
This must be it, welcome to the new year
